If snorkeling or scuba diving is on the agenda, as it should be endless reefs and wrecks are divers choice here in Key West. Springtime, March through May is great for inshore and deep sea fishing with promises of Tarpon, Sailfish, and Wahoo. And, of course, Mahi if you can catch a southerly breeze. Hit the sunken wrecks in January and February for Cobia and go a little deeper, offshore, for Mackerel and Blackfin Tuna. For the anglers, December through February, considered 'winter', is a great time for fishing the reefs for Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, and Grouper. Key West gets the best water of both worlds! A vast array of marine life can be enjoyed here. The clear, turquoise waters that surround Key West are teeming with the rich abundance of the Gulf Stream, flowing from the Gulf of Mexico to the tip of Florida and into the Straits of Florida. From the fiery sunsets to the mesmerizing waters that surround Key West there is truly visual magic happening here! The name 'Key West' can't be spoken without bringing up images of vibrant colors of orange, coral, peach, red, turquoise and cobalt. The southern tip of Key West is approximately 90 miles from Cuba. Key West is at the end of an archipelago of about 1700 gorgeous islands that make up the Florida Keys.
